ESPN is starting a new series of 30 different documentaries for its 30th anniversary, each done by a different acclaimed director (like Barry Levinson on the Colts leaving Baltimore and John Singleton on Marion Jones and Spike Jonze on Mat Hoffman)
It starts next Tuesday (October 6) with Peter Berg on the Wayne Gretzky Trade ("King's Ransom")
Most of what ESPN does nowadays is pretty much dreck, but this looks like a really awesome, interesting series, especially considering how diverse the stories are (everything from horse racing to fantasy football to Len Bias)

Mudo I hope you guys figure out a way to lose to virginia and duke. Your avatar rules now
They probably will at this point. Frankly, it would be better for the program if they completely crapped out this season, eased Coach Friedgen out the door, and let Coach Franklin take over. Since the team is so young, they could build it up as the renovations to the Byrd are being completed.

This is a much better idea that the stupid world record for saying Favre.
I hope Colin Cowherd dies in a fire.

I'll be watching the Caps game, but i'm sure I'll catch it on the one billion different replays they will have for it.

Yeah, like everyone else I'd assumed the USFL was a complete joke of a league, a loser from the start, but it really does appear that it might have worked out if Donald Trump hadn't been such a douche.
Tonight's USFL special was phenomenal. How the hell did Trump go from full head of hair to the rat's nest he wears today? He had no in between actual bald stage.
The Holmes/Ali documentary may be one of the saddest pieces of television i've ever seen.
It truly was a fight that nobody won.

I don't know if I can watch this. That was one of the most depressing days of my life.
Same here. Used to get bummed out every time I went by Washington Hall on campus
I work next door to the cemetery where Len's grave is. I think i'll go over there tomorrow during my lunch hour.

Bias died when I was 5 so I had no real idea who he was or about any of this. I can tell you though that even having read and known about his death, I never grasped the scope of it until this documentary. It wasn't just depressing either, something far beyond that. It could have been the most sad thing I have ever watched.
